But on the bright side I did get a LOT of work accomplished! Here are two of my "furbabies" who did not enjoy their bath - but they really needed it. LOL
By for now and love to everyone! :)

What a wonderfully beautiful day
DH had to take our son and his wife back to the surgeon that did his back surgery. It has been about 3 months now and his is still in so much pain -breaking my heart. DH told me when they got back that they did fuse two different sets of two different bones together - not pinned .So I don't know how this is going to act. He told him to come back in 6 months and he will give him a shot in his spine -& I sure do not like the sound of that!
But on the bright side I did get a LOT of work accomplished! Here are two of my "furbabies" who did not enjoy their bath - but they really needed it. LOL
Here is Little Bear who also got her bath and I even got my hair washed too. The rest of the crew pulled a slick one and hid on me.I will let them think that they are pretty smart this time! LOL
Snowball thinks he is a top dog! But he is sooooooo sweet!
Miss Honey Bear loves to scratch her belly and stretch a lot. But, I not only got the floors cleaned and all the dishes washed up and I ate a bowl of beans and did several washes-Then I finished up my Mochia shirt!
I do love her so much. As I was writing this post I had a little help show up !
Miss Rosie climbed up on my lap while I attempted to type!
So, I guess I could say that with Miss Rosie's help I got it all accomplished and now it is time to run and do the evening chores!
By for now and love to everyone! :)

Twitter-Paitted !
Have you ever noticed that when you are a little "twitter-patted" that things just naturally seem to not work out right! No matter how hard you try - it seems that the good that you are hoping to achieve eludes you!
That was the way my day has gone. Gone - I don't know whether to be pleased to see it go -so - I can have a fresh start -OR - sad to see it go because I did not manage to accomplish my goal. So, I guess I will just chalk it up to a learning experience.
This is my "learning experience" today. This is one of my furbabies and her name is Mocha-but DH had nicknamed her Mochie! I do have this design on one of my almost wore out shirts -so I decided to make me a fresh one . It started out good. I had that design glued down so good you would have thought I was gluing
Gold down. It started out messing up with that white showing since that is the bobbin thread and you are not suppose to let it happen like that. Of course I wondered right off the bat - why it waited until half-way through to mess up????? But I decided I could live with that since that is more like the color of Miss Mocha -instead of the solid brown color that the design has? So, after that battle I thought it should act right for the outline stitch. Yea - Right! You can see all around the right front let and the back leg and up to the top of her ears are all not where they should be! GRRRR! So, I am pretty "miffed" by this experience.
I know the store said it is all my fault -but ?????? It makes me wonder. I did everything step she told me -and yet , here I am -defeated once again. :( Maybe tomorrow will let some sun shine in on me!"

Did you know?
I learned a new lesson today. :) I am always trying to very hard when I put the neckband onto the body of the shirt -to make it perfectly even all the way around . BUT- it seems like I always fail to accomplish this goal.
BUT as I zig-zagged around around with my first row of stitches I noticed that I had not accomplished this. So , I promised myself that I would try doubly hard to fulfill my desire on the stitch that I now go around with my serger. I have learned when you start -it you want it to be even you put a little "nip" with the scissors to mark the spot that you intend to met evenly. So, things were going great and as I headed down to the finishing I stopped and took the knife off so that the every thing would match up. But , as I watched the serger stitch around the knife it forced the material outside of the knife movement -instead of where it would be going Under the knife and changed the width of the band. Yea, at least now I know how I was goofing up. :)
Plus, I need some way to remind myself that the different types of knit fabric make a big difference in the stretch of the neckband. The extra stretchy kind lets the neckband stretch easily to go over your head - BUT- the kind that is not so stretchy Does not. I had cut out the headband by the pattern piece and I was so glad that I sewing it together and was checking to see If it would stretch to go over my head and NO -it would not. That was funny because I had been wanting one of those headbands to put on and pull my hair back to wash my face and by this test - I now have two headbands to keep in the bath room to to that with! :) Plus, I re-cut a pattern piece longer and this time when I attached it -everything works great and I managed to save myself some heartache! "Maybe my Guardian Angel was looking out for me this time"! :)
Well, time to bring down the ironing board to press the garment so it will looked more Professional. :) O, I had a funny experience. I was taking clothes out of the dryer and I ran across a shirt I had made so I stopped to study it. It always wants to roll up on the hems. Next I pulled out a pair of green slacks that matches the shirt 100%, so I stopped to study them too. I was thinking I had bought these a few years back when I took a yoga class and you needed clothes that Could move with you and the fabric just matched the shirt?? HUM? So I folded it open and studied the stitches and they looked Exactly like mine . I even held the shirt and the pants up side by side to study them? Well, finally my "I bought these store-bought" was canceled out by my "everything stitch matches-so I must have made them" - - - UNTIL I looked at the back of the pants and there was the store tag! !!!!! :) So, I guess that answers that question. LOL
O , And I am trying very hard this time not to get a goose egg from an iron! Matter of fact I have not moved that iron off of the cutting table since it attacked me! So, I have been keeping it - BELOW- my head !!!!!!!! I was beginning to think that that bugger was possessed , so I am taking NO chances! I am keeping my eye on that IRON ! Or you can call it am iron , if you want to , but I am calling it "a head adjuster"! LOL!
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

Where did it go to???
O My! I had planned such a perfect day . I was going to feed us and then while DH worked on his little shop for all of his hunting supplies - I was going to sew! Yea? NO - We had to make a trip to town. I was hot and tired and dirty so at least I got to take a shower and become a clean person again.
DH had to run over to our youngest son's house to pick him up and bring him up here to keep a friend of his company while the friend worked on a vehicle he is fixing up. Emmett came in and we all ate a bowel of beans together . DH stepped out of the house and Emmett and I got to play "catch - up" . He is still in so much pain that it is hard to believe. The doctors had told told him that he was a rare statistic because when you have nerves that are damaged from the disc in your back -they said they usually run to the outside of your body and hit the sciatica nerve and run down the outside of your leg. BUT - his they say have taken to the inside of his body and causes him intense pain in his stomach. He is in so much pain that it scares me and as he talked I could see he was fighting back tears of despair. He said the one doctor that is so far away -told him to expect to be down for approximately 2 months after the surgery and when those two months came and went and he was still having problems he went back to the local doctor who told him that he did not know who had told him that -But - with his kind of problem about a year - time for the nerves to attempt to heal where the disc had damaged them! He is really upset because he cannot work and it is getting closer and closer to time for their baby.
His young wife has back problems too -from a car wreck and I am wondering how in the world will they be able to carry a baby around , especially as it grows? I don't know , but we will just have to take it one day at a time.
After we got back home the kids were all gone and I changed my clothes and went for my little walk and enjoyed that tremendously! It was a Perfect walk because the temperature was perfect! Not to hot and not to cool and a slight breeze was ruffling through my hair as I walked - like an angel had caressed me. I had my furbabies with me and they had a lot of fun. That is one thing that I admire animals for - they do not sit and worry and they demonstrate how to treasure the moment. Up and down and all around they played in the field and then they came for lots of loving. The little boy whose name is Bandit had snagged his dewclaw and it looked so painful. I noticed that he was carrying it up high , trying to protect it. I picked him up to inspect it and then I put him back down in the soft grass to see how he was managing? It was hurting him and reminded me of when I had rubbed a blister on my heel and every step I had taken hurt more than the last. So, I gave in and picked him up and carried him like a baby with those pretty brown eyes just shining. I love animals because they offer you pure love and you do not have to live up to anybody's standards . They just accept you as you are and for that gift I am so grateful.
When we arrived back at the house I worked on the evening chores. I pulled the guinea pigs lots of nice greens for them to munch on tonight. The temperature is suppose to be cold tonight , so this is the first night I have closed the windows.Then by the time we had eaten a bowel of beans - I sliced us each a bowel full of fresh apples. This is the first year my one little tree has had apples and they have been delicious! What a nice treat to end the day!
I wanted to make at least a little progress so when DH went to bed I came in the sewing room and hunted another design for another shirt. I will be too tired to sew on it tonight, but I will feel better because I will have accomplished Something! :)
Yesterday I had bought a very different type of cat food. My dear Rosie has been having problems with her food . She no sooner eats it and turns around and then throws it all up! Uck! A friend had mentioned that she had bought a new food and that it was doing good by her kitty. I was lucky and ran across it in our local Tractor supple store. There was also one beside it that was a little cheaper and it said NO GRAINS and since the corn is what so many cats are allergic to - I decided to test it out. I am afraid to speak of it without knocking on wood , but so far it has been 24 hours and she had not throwed anything up at all! HOPE, HOPE , HOPE! :) I had recently watched a program on tv explaining how they make some of our animal's food and it was DISGUSTING what some of them do! Some humans are just plain -vile!
Have you noticed what a hard time I have been having TRYING to get a picture of her lovely Blue eyes?
Everytime I go to snap the camera -she has already turned her rotten little head on me! She is such a scamp! LOL
See, this is why I have been attempting to keep her close at hand - I was attempting to color the design like her colors -according to the colors that I have. Well, it suits me since this is one that is a "keeper" for me! :)
Since it is 2/30 AM I am going to go jump in bed. DH is thinking of having a fish fry tomorrow -depending on everyone else's plans - so I might have trouble sneaking in my sewing? But , right now my body is screaming for rest. :) Love to all - night!

Another day older and deeper in debt !
LOL - Well, do you ever remember that song? It was from somewhere in the 50's as best I can remember. Back then I did not know what being in debt was and I only wanted to be a year older so Mama would make me a birthday cake. :)
But the truth being that now- I am another day older and definitely deeper in debt. Matter of fact that is how I started my day - sitting down to FIGHT tooth and nail with our bills.Bills are just ever day things now as far as I can see- everybody has them in some form.And I have always been able to find a way to squeak through-But that has changed in the last two years -due to the car wreck.It took extra money for the gas to make all those extra doctor visits and I used the credit card for the medicines -which of course ran that up much faster than I expected it to. Talk about live and learn and we always remember those hard lessons.
Matter of fact , that was the reason I started a blog - hoping to learn along the way how to make money with a blog? LOL Well, we can all see I have not learned that part - but I have made the most wonderful friends -so I am definitely richer by far. :)
After pulling toe-nails to take my mind off of my predicament - LOL - no -not seriously ! I just had to get a nice laugh going because we are all happier when we can laugh and share things! I love that old saying that sharing our problems divides them in half when you can share them with a friend - and that is what it feels like - so - thank you so much! :)
Next we moved on into going to the bank and then our big spending spree of buying medicine and not to forget 50.00 worth of groceries ? Boy, it was good to get home.
I thought it was????? Some of my kids and grandkids were having a squabble and that took about an hour on the phone. Sheeze!
I did manage to get a 3.00 bottle of detergent that I will use in my mysterious bottle of detergent that I mix together and then have a 4 gallon bucket of detergent! I think that is neat-. Boy! I almost fainted when I saw the price of laundry detergent in the store! You could tell I had not bought any in a while! WHeezzzzzz! Of course gas had to go up too! Another sheezzzzzzzzzz!
When we got home the dogs and I went for my short walk and I walked up on 3 beautiful deer! They always make me think of a giant jack-rabbit with those long floopy ears and the leaping hop they have ! That was neat.
But, this was the highlight of my day -finishing a girlfriend's Christmas teeshirt. This would be a xxl in store clothes. But in this pattern it is called a Medium! LOL She will get a kick out of that. From that same pattern I wear a xl and the one I make for me is a Small! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like I will ever see a small again! LOL
It's such a cute little critter and I Love critters! LOL I went to bed early last night from that bump on the noggin and I still have quiet a goose-egg tonight still with me. I will learn to have a new respect for IRONS!
Love to all and stay away from those irons! :)

9 2 2010 Critter day :)
This is what greeted me at the sewing room this morning. She is laying on a pile of scrapes covered over with a towel. It is very slick and I can see she is slowly sliding off of the cutting table. Every-time I go to snap a picture she moves and you know how cameras are these days. I have not moved the scrapes because I am intending to cut them up in tiny pieces to make another doggie pillow. But, not like the one I worked 2 days cutting the pieces for last Christmas . I had made two pillowcases for it and told my DNL 1 she would just need to wash the Pillowcases? Like kids listen to me anymore -even if they are 40. LOL She decided to WASH the entire pillow and the flannel it was made of burst open. She said she found tiny pieces of fabric all in her washer. LOL - revenge for not listening - LOL - I know- my meanness is showing!OOPS! So , do you think that she sewed it back together???? I think we all know what the answer is to that question?
Well, sweet Rosie -she is still showing off for me. She knows that I think she is the "cat's meow"! This is another day that plum run off and left me . I went out and did a bunch of chores and when I work outdoors -time just flys by. We took lunch and watched the weather channel as they talked about the hurricane that they think will go up the east cost line. The mountains usually protect us -but I still like to know what is going on.
Then this afternoon DH went out to work on a little shed he is building and I had started back to the sewing room after I did some laundry when DH came back asked me to follow him up to where he was working. I remember thinking that I should grab my camera.He said he had been hammering away and looked up and saw 4 young turkeys. I finally spotted what he was talking about and I asked about the camera. He took off back to the sewing room to nab my camera . I started to sneak my way up the walkway because they were so small at that distance that I could barely see them. I would ease a bit and wait a bit. There was one older bird that would raise its head and keep an eye on me. As I was easing -they were easing around by the henhouse and up the little hill. We were all "easing" together - hum- and with no needle and thread!
The weeds were high at the fence and I had trouble spotting them out .
They were all strung out like a little bird army . This was the second time in my lifetime that I had got to enjoy seeing wild turkeys on our land, usually the guys like to hunt them and that ruins it for me. This time I was the shooter! :)
Then I had the perfect way to end my day- I came back into the sewing room and wanted to put the ironing board back up . I had leaned down to position the feet of it when it felt like my world came crashing down and Pain clobbered the left side of my head -about the area near my ear and back.
I remember wondering What in the World had happened ? Would you believe that the iron (not hot) had jumped right off of one of the filing cabinets and clobbered me! I thought that was so VERY rude of it to do that. SO, while my head is spinning and hurting - I think I will take that as a HINT. Time to quit. :)
Hope everyone has had a wonderful day . The end of the week is coming and another chapter is closing and getting ready to open and I hope that everyone has a perfect adventure. :)
Love to all!

Middle of the week and time flying by?
I ran across a saying lately that really rings true to my heart: JUST START SOMEWHERE! So now I have two favorite phrases -the other one being ,Whoever SAID Life Is Suppose To Be Fair! So, I did not "waste" my time waging war with my main computer because it felt like I had wasted all day yesterday fighting it! Hateful critter -they are just so much like people that I wonder sometimes IF there isn't a human being in that case -all set to argue with you! OOOOO- to have a wonderful mind and be able to "command an army of them":::::::::::
I don't know IF you guys ever watch NCIS and they have Abbey the computer guru and also on Criminal Minds -they have Penelope ! Both of them so young and pretty and SMART!!!!!!!!!!! They can handle any computer that comes their way - I wish I could be like that!
I strike me as a very strange person because I always complained that I was born in the wrong generation because I needed to be back in the 1800's so I could ride horses and milk cows and feed chickens, ect. BUT on the other side of the coin I wish to have virtual knowledge of the 2020 so I could treat my computer right! :) - And it would treat me right! :) I decided to take my own advice and JUST START SOMEWHERE!
Okey-doekey! Back to real life- I pulled out my next project and it took a while to decide on the design for a dear buddy of mine. I finally settled on the little dragon - just because I think he -errrrr- she , is cute as a bug on a rug! It did great on the start out sewing the base alright and I was getting to be VERY hopeful! But , then as I got into the design when it came to laying down an outline along the Left ear -things got kinda "wonky" and it sew away from the ears -not outlining it like it was suppose to ????? Yea, I was starting to get twitter-patted! My hope was slowly melting away.
Then it straightened up like a naughty child - like when you threaten to "rip their pretty little heads off" . LOL
When it came to the final outline stitch in the dark red - I 'll be dog-gone if it didn't miss the LEFT side of the project. I sat and studied it knowing that I had got it nice and "taunt" -as they like to say - And- I had put three pieces of stabilizer under it and I had used the Spray Adhesive on it pretty heavy. I just don't see how in the world I am doing anything wrong???? And the fact that it always messes up on the Left side - what is going on with that????
I think you can see on the left side in this picture that little red straight stitch is along the entire Left side ???But, still I think she is a "cutie -petootie"!
As soon as I got this much completed - here comes that LIFE gig again and I have to fix DH something to eat and go do chores. He asked for a silver turtle-'No little silver turtle as all harmed in any way! They call it that because you take a sheet of aluminium foil and put your piece of meat on it and then pile the vegetables on top of it and add a dab of butter and seasonings and wrap your little package up nice and tight. She bakes for approximately 40 minutes -you can smell the nice aroma if you are a meat eater. Then you pull her out and Abracadabra , your meal is complete and you toss the aluminium in the trash and your meal is now complete! No dirty pops or pans!
Then hopped in shower and got ready for my counselling and now it is almost bedtime , so I wonder???????Where did my day go?????????????????? But at least it was a beautiful day -sunshine and 91 degrees and we are watching the weather channel to keep an eye on that hurricane that is roaring out in the ocean yet? I don't think it will bother us any -but after one did make it through about 12 years ago - it is certainly something that you never forget. I do not know how the people survive out there in the tropical islands?
Love to all and hope you too, have had a wonderful day and an even better one tomorrow! :)
I don't know IF you guys ever watch NCIS and they have Abbey the computer guru and also on Criminal Minds -they have Penelope ! Both of them so young and pretty and SMART!!!!!!!!!!! They can handle any computer that comes their way - I wish I could be like that!
I strike me as a very strange person because I always complained that I was born in the wrong generation because I needed to be back in the 1800's so I could ride horses and milk cows and feed chickens, ect. BUT on the other side of the coin I wish to have virtual knowledge of the 2020 so I could treat my computer right! :) - And it would treat me right! :) I decided to take my own advice and JUST START SOMEWHERE!
Then it straightened up like a naughty child - like when you threaten to "rip their pretty little heads off" . LOL
When it came to the final outline stitch in the dark red - I 'll be dog-gone if it didn't miss the LEFT side of the project. I sat and studied it knowing that I had got it nice and "taunt" -as they like to say - And- I had put three pieces of stabilizer under it and I had used the Spray Adhesive on it pretty heavy. I just don't see how in the world I am doing anything wrong???? And the fact that it always messes up on the Left side - what is going on with that????
As soon as I got this much completed - here comes that LIFE gig again and I have to fix DH something to eat and go do chores. He asked for a silver turtle-'No little silver turtle as all harmed in any way! They call it that because you take a sheet of aluminium foil and put your piece of meat on it and then pile the vegetables on top of it and add a dab of butter and seasonings and wrap your little package up nice and tight. She bakes for approximately 40 minutes -you can smell the nice aroma if you are a meat eater. Then you pull her out and Abracadabra , your meal is complete and you toss the aluminium in the trash and your meal is now complete! No dirty pops or pans!
